#56 Greatness = Consistency on the Fundamentals

Universal + Specific (What Are Yours?)

Robin Sharma tells us that greatness is all about consistency on the fundamentals.

Look at any great performer and that’s what you’ll see.

Of course, a world-class artist will have different fundamentals than an athlete who will have different fundamentals than an entrepreneur who will have different fundamentals than a parent but the same rule applies in each case: mastery of the mundane.

Which, of course, begs the question: What are YOUR fundamentals?

I like to think of our fundamentals on two different levels: the universal and the specific.

We ALL share the need for mastery around the basics: Eat. Move. Sleep. Breathe. Focus. If we don’t have those universal fundamentals dialed in there’s simply no way we’ll have a shot at our highest potential.

Then we have our specific fundamentals. The things that are unique to each of us and our particular crafts. For example, as a lover of wisdom and teacher, I need to commit to Deep Work blocks packed with thinking and writing and reading.

You?

Our +1 for today is simple. Think about your fundamentals and think about how you can get just a little bit better with a universal and a specific.

This Universal fundamental could use some love: _____ — fill in the blank — _____.
